Background

About Laura Barlow

Laura is the founder of Breathe Colorado, a holistic private practice that integrates a multidisciplinary approach to enhance stress resiliency and performance. With 20 years of clinical experience in the field of dentistry, Laura brings a unique expertise that merges neuro-craniofacial sleep medicine with principles of human performance optimization. Her recent training in respiratory psychophysiology, fascia neurobiology, and TACFIT®—a precision-based fitness system designed for rapid recovery from exercise intensity—equips her with the skills to identify facial phenotypes that significantly impact airway patency, sleep quality, physiological readiness, and stress recovery. At Breathe Colorado, Laura recognizes the formative role of sleep-disordered breathing in conditioning and perpetuating maladaptive breathing behaviors. While these behaviors may be acutely adaptive, they often lead to chronic acid-base physiological instability such as respiratory alkalosis. Through innovative movement practices and breathing education, Laura employs capnometric metabolic analysis and HRV biofeedback as individualized tools for physically and cognitively restructuring breathing patterns. This comprehensive approach not only addresses immediate physiological concerns but also fosters long-term cognitive and physical resilience.
